Cadmium (Cd) is one of the four metals that have been raising
apprehension world-wide as environmental, agricultural and health
hazards in recent decades. Cadmium accumulates in the soil
naturally or through anthropogenic activities, such as mining,
industrial waste disposal, use and disposal of batteries and
sludges, and application of pesticides and fertilisers. Cadmium
accumulation can result in severe deterioration of natural
resources, disturbance of ecosystems, and deleterious effects on
plants, animals and human health. In recent decades, the number of
publications focused on cadmium toxicity in plants and animals has
been growing exponentially, making this topic impossible to
accommodate within the scope of a single volume. This book edited
by Dr Mirza Hasanuzzaman and Dr Masayuki Fujita presents a
collection of 16 chapters written by 67 experts from 19 countries
working on cadmium toxicity. This volume provides the readers with
a background for understanding cadmium toxicity, its environmental
and health aspects, and its remediation mechanisms. Various
chapters included in this book provide a state-of-the-art account
of the information as a resourceful guide suited for scholars and
researchers working in the field of cadmium. This book is a
invaluable resource for plant biologists, agriculturists,
toxicologists, biochemists, environmental scientists,
physiologists, pharmacologists, geneticists, molecular biologists;
as well as graduate students in these disciplines.
